Broken Crown Lyrics


Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I’ll never be your chosen one
I’ll be home, safe and tucked away
You can’t tempt me if I don’t see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
'cause when I open my body I breathe a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot
But oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness.
Crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away.

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away.
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace.
So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away.
And in this twilight our choices seal our fate.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The best of the young American songwriters, a voice full of feeling and a big, big heart. And the balls to say what he thinks. Berkeley is a New Jersey native, but in the past decade, he's lived in Brooklyn, Atlanta, Berkeley and Corsica. Santa Fe is now home, where he lives with this wife and two young sons. Within months of arriving and still overwhelmed by the palette of reds and browns, the endless open sky, and the frightening lack of water in his new high desert surroundings, Berkeley wrote and recorded his most haunting and personal songs to date.
